I feel as though my farmers and peasants are coming up empty handed. We have dark brown carrots turned into torches, we have Farm sets, Medieval Market Villages, peasants, farmers, cows of two kinds, chickens, there are official constructed scythes, forthcoming are pigs (here for some already) and even zombies. Lego even gave us Dr. Frankenstein and his Monster.

It's possible that they will soon. Brickforge has really grown to the point where new products (not always new pieces, but new colors for pieces and such) come out fairly often. The most recent batch of new items included a sickle, a clever, and a saw that's much more suited to medieval situations; showing that they are expanding their product range.

I'll suggest this next time I visit. If demand for this grows enough, who knows?

Yes, I would very much like a pitchfork! I'd also like to see a variety of peasants as well (expanding beyond Medieval Market Village) who would be sold with the pitchforks for easy getting. The pitchforks are almost $3.00 (USD) a pop on bricklink. Perhaps a medieval farmer impulse type thing with the pitchfork?

Sorry couldn't resist taking a picture to show off xDpersonly I have alot of pitchforks, but it would be nice to see some tan or dark brown or even redisch brown come back.Brown will stay the classic color. but new pitchforks would be sweet

Armothe, from brickforge, has stated that the pitchfork is a possibility; though he has to be sure sure it would be worth the effort.

The second reason is when evaluating potential products the preference always lies upon 1) does the piece have multiple uses? 2) is it an army-builder piece? 3) how many people will this piece attract? 4) how well does said piece tie into existing products? Unlike swords, shields & helmets the pitchfork is a product that a castle fans will buy one or two of making it more difficult to anticipate sales.

Yes, a new pitchfork would be very, very cool but it simply has not yet been prioritized on our schedule. We made a sickle - quite arguably a contemporary of the pitchfork - and we are evaluating how well it does to better gauge as to how soon a pitchfork will be made for the angry mobs to carry.

One of the best things to do is to organize a petition which will better demonstrate the demand of such a piece.

Can I sign the petition still or is this only for the three-pronged fork?

This "petition," is simply to rally support for Brickforge to make a pitchfork. Number of prongs may be open for discussion. What number would you prefer. I myself would like a two prong, but four does sound interesting.

Two prongs could be awesome. Fourth I think is a bit much I would just say go for the three
